step 1... turn on transcribe audio.. step 2.. laugh out loud

@ThatRomanDude lol 1 year old comment

[MrSaqlain23]

if i want to add more modifications will it fly?

[menamiketrx]

@MrSaqlain23 You will only know if you give it a try. I am always trying new things.

[ThatRomanDude]

I was the 21,000 th viewer! Sweet!

does cardstock work well with this glider

[menamiketrx]

@patrickd126 Some years back I messed around with cardstock and with some modifications it worked and made for a little more resilient wing but the stiffer the paper, the more difficult it is to get the twist. The card stalk seemed to favor larger wing planforms as the larger wingspan would allow for twist to happen over a longer span with the stiffer paper. Try it out and let me know if you find success.

[patrickd126]

@menamiketrx i tried card stock and it only worked on the advanced omni wing, although if the fold were to the most exact point they could be i would work for the omni wing.

tree killer!

[menamiketrx]

@magicmike1122 All the paper I use is waste paper. Rather than throwing them in the trash to fill up a landfill, I return the to the woods from which they came, thus the cycle of life.

[patrickd126]

@menamiketrx That thinking green in my opinion might be enough to sail the earth

[patrickd126]

@patrickd126 i mean save

[THEBugui14]

yeah i make it but how you trought it ?

[menamiketrx]

@THEBugui14 See my channel for 3 different videos showing me launching the OmniWings.

[walletmanandpoo]

does it fly better ????

[menamiketrx]

With the added weight and the cleaner top surface and improved airfoil, the OmniWing with this particular mod will bly faster with improved glide ratio. Also be sure to check out the Advanced OmniWing.

[myusername36912]

i made one that was i fourth as big....it flies really fast

[menamiketrx]

Endless Possibilities!

[menamiketrx]

about 3/8 inch.....  But some flexibility there. Just internal structure...

[kuromizusan]

I will be your third hand (;

[transdrole]

I want to see vids of long flights from high terrain points. Are there any?

[menamiketrx]

See my channel for the video of me flying OmniWings off of Mt. Nebo. Some really good flights.

[Helicopterpilot16]

I;ll tell you a few of my mods,

1 was leading edge slats simular to the 747s

2 Vortex generators near the keel so the advanced wing has better flow in the High AOA in the middle!

And 3 Winglets!

[MrBowChickaBowWow]

winglets dont really help an omniwing cuz itz a wing and then will wreck the wing. winglets only really help to keep an airpplane going up or down and other stuff

[Helicopterpilot16]

note. I didn't bend the eing like those normal paper planes! i just added a peace of paper to the wing tips. And on you comment about the ups and downs?

Winglets are to make the wingtip vortex weak and not cause allot of induced drag.

[mxf7010g8k]

heave you ever thought of getting into rc planes? either gliders or powered? im into almost all type of aviation. im going to get a parkzone stryker next but aparently you already know what a zagi is!

[sindude300]

i thought they have these for RC planes?

[ilovepizza45]

oh! and one more question what wind is the best when im gonna throw my advanced omniwing?

[menamiketrx]

This would depend on the terrain. Where I live the mountains and hills are not very steep so rarely would I have a true cliff launch. The steeper the hill, the more wind the Advanced can manage. Also, pursue taking the Advanced concept even further with more internal structure, and more top surface layers. I have built with up to 8 sheets packed into one Advanced. Makes for a scarry fast craft that still maintains a very impressive glide ratio, thus able to penetrated stronger winds.

[ilovepizza45]

thx for the help mike :)

[ilovepizza45]

oh! and one more question what is the best wind when u r gonna throw the advanced omniwing?

[ilovepizza45]

no it is just that u r a master of making paper planes :) and im 11 btw and i can make the advanced omniwing thanks 2 u :)

[ilovepizza45]

i have one question how old r u?

[menamiketrx]

I am 55 years. Been folding the OmniWing for over 30 years. Yeah, I know... 55 and still making paper airplanes. What is up with that? But I love flight and this is just one of many of my recreations. Check out my channel and you will see I enjoy hang gliding, ultralight flying, mountain biking. See the videos....

[geckoboy222]

pez sho a vid of how 2 hold n fly your very cool plane

[menamiketrx]

Search for "Flight of the OmniWing".

[Helicopterpilot16]

Hay, I've prolly posted this comment before but i wonder if these could ever thermal, Now i know the can get ridge lift from a building. it awsome

[menamiketrx]

I have had some thermal flights with the Advanced OmniWing. Will usually take some wings when I go hang gliding and launch them prior to setting up the hang glidier. At Mt. Nebo once, I am doing some early morning tosses off the roll-off to cliff and the Advanced Omni slips into a thermal and then actully goes into a slight turn and is gaining altitude. Some guy walks up and asks who is controlling the Zagi. He thought it was remote controlled. It does look like a zagi though.

[jantzen8895]

i wanna drop mine off a building

[extremetabletennis16]

i live on a ten story building and it's kool but the wind takes it and i never see them again

[Creativedonkey]

Me and my dad and brother were having an argument about which flys better, airplanes with tape and those without, I said that taped airplanes flew better and my brother and father were against me.

So we made a little competition.

We each made on plane, and we threw them based on distance, speed and acuracy.

I used the Omniwing and won in both Distance and accuracy, while losing in speed.

Either way, I won 2 of 3, so thanks!

[menamiketrx]

I doubt that proceeding with the modifications will correct your problem. I would suggest you work on making sure you are getting maximum twist into your wing. You will need a good stable flying platform from which you can add the mods.

[bjohns04]

hey this looks awsome me and my dad can not wait to try it and this might fix our problem it keeps falling strait down

[Freerunner72]

this was my problem 2 jst try it upsidown
